Dr Joshua Ashwood - Chiropractor
Josh graduated in 2016 with a double Bachelors degree in Chiropractic. He practiced in Perth, Australia for 3 years before moving to London, UK with his wife in 2019. After a further 4 years of practice in London he is now the clinic director at Spine Chiropractic in Perth.
Josh is a certified Chiropractic Biophysics® practitioner after completing further studies in America. Within the profession, Chiropractic Biophysics® is the most researched and evidence-based technique in corrective spinal rehabilitation and postural correction.
Josh enjoys travelling with his wife, time with family and friends, and is passionate about health and physical fitness. One of the things Josh enjoys most about his work is seeing the life changing impact that chiropractic care and patient education can have to the everyday normal person. This could be the office worker with debilitating headaches who’s missing out enjoying life, someone with worsening and progressive back pain or simply a client who’s noticed their posture has deteriorated over the years.

Dr. Chandra Nagendran - Chiropractor
Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Dr. Chandramohan Nagendran—known to friends and patients as Chandra or CM—spent the first 19 years of his life surrounded by the vibrant culture of his hometown. In 2013, he made the big move to Perth, Western Australia, to pursue his passion for health and movement, becoming a Chiropractor, after completing his degree at Murdoch University in 2019. Chandra is passionate about helping people live healthier, pain-free lives through a holistic, non-invasive approach. He believes that pain is rarely isolated, and that by understanding how the body functions as a whole, he can uncover the root cause rather than just treating the symptoms. His goal is to ensure each patient receives personalised care that not only relieves discomfort but also improves their overall wellbeing. His treatments combine spinal and extremity manipulation (diversified), mobilization, soft tissue therapy, massage, rehabilitation exercises (postural, stabilisation and mobility exercises), and practical health advice. Chandra prides himself on tailoring every session to the unique needs of his patients, blending expertise with genuine care. Outside the clinic, Chandra’s life revolves around movement, sport, and creativity. He has played football (soccer) since he was a child and went on to play professional futsal/indoor soccer in Malaysia with Kuala Lumpur City Futsal Club from 2020 to 2022. His love for sport and performance is what inspired him to pursue a career in health and human movement. When he’s not on the field or helping patients, Chandra enjoys playing the tabla—Indian classical drums—staying active with strength and conditioning workouts, cardio, and occasionally testing his strategic skills at the poker table. His hobbies reflect a balance of discipline, creativity, and a constant curiosity for learning and improving, both on and off the field.
